Lynn Y. Choi, M.D., a breast surgeon who is also fellowship trained in surgical critical care, has joined Albany Medical Center’s Department of Surgery.

Choi recently completed an advanced breast-training fellowship and performs a full range of breast surgeries, including mastectomy, lumpectomy, and lymph-node surgery.

The man accused of sexually abusing a Vanderheyden Hall resident, who had a disability and who was in his care, received a college scholarship awarded to those with “a reputation for honesty, integrity and community service.”

Guilderland school district officials asked students to tell them why so many of them said that safe school buildings were a top priority.
